Rhode Island Department of Education Lesson Plan Lesson Title: Single Covalent Bonds State Standards:(GLEs/GSEs) National Standards: Context of Lesson: This lesson will be on the second day of the unit following the introduction of the unit. During this lesson the students will be learning about covalent bonds. The students will be connecting their knowledge of electron configuration and Lewis Dot Diagrams to begin to understand how a covalent bond is formed. In this class I will be getting the students very involved by having student come to the board and work on problems. Opportunities to Learn: Depth of Knowledge: Prerequisite Knowledge: Plans for Differentiating Instruction: Accommodations and modifications: Environmental factors: Materials:
Objectives:
Students will write a lewis dot diagram of molecules with 2-5 atoms.
Instruction: Opening:
Talk about yesterday’s class and what we learned.
Ask the student why they think ionic compounds and molecular compounds differ so much.
The types of bonds.
I wonder if there was a way to see how covalent bonds occur...
Engagement:
Review on electron configuration and Lewis Dot Diagrams.
Do several with the help from students.
Have students come to the board and do a few more.
Last example: a noble gas
Noble gases
Why are they called noble gases?
Don’t react.
Why not?
The Octet Rule.
How can we relate the Octet Rule to covalent bonding?
We saw some of this with ionic bonding.
Draw water (H2O) on the board.
Have student draw a Lewis Dot structure for each atom.
How could this bond?
Demonstrate how to draw the Lewis Dot structure than ask if it follows the Octet Rule.
Make sure to identify the unshared pairs of electrons and that the valence electrons react.
Do several more examples with the students help.
Give students a few to do on their own then have some write their answers on the board and discuss.
Closure:
Today we learned about covalent bonds and more specifically how to draw a Lewis Dot Diagram of a compound.
The bonds we learned about today were single covalent bonds. Tomorrow we will learn that there are double, triple, and coordinate covalent bonds.
Assessment: There will be a short quiz in the beginning of the next class on drawing Lewis Dot Diagrams. Reflections: (only done after lesson is enacted) Student Work Sample 1 – Approaching Proficiency: Student Work Sample 2 – Proficient: Student Work Sample 3 – Exceeds Proficiency:
